I think this is related to indexmap-rs/indexmap#144 since it looks like you are using WSL. On WSL something breaks the "is std available" detection, and you end up with the no_std version of IndexMap.

One workaround you can apply for now is to add the following to your own Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
indexmap = { version = "1.6.1", features = ["std"] }

We could also work around this in rocket by backporting #1502 to v0.4.

It would be good to backport this for WSL1 users.
Especially behind corporate proxies or vpns WSL1 might still be easier to handle in the first place.
I needed some patch to use the rust-overlay so I used a modified overlay which in turn missed some of the patches https://github.com/mozilla/nixpkgs-mozilla added, i. e. mozilla/nixpkgs-mozilla#227.
Which has potential to lead to follow-up errors etc.

On WSL2 these errors do not occur.

@jebrosen I'll leave the decision to backport to you. Please feel free to do so or close this issue.

[SergioBenitez]

@jebrosen What do you think?

Thanks.
